Managing Coverage Lists

A coverage list is a list of repair operations codes covered by a warranty product. This list is used to validate whether a repair is covered by a warranty. Additionally, it is used to validate claims.

To further understand coverage lists, consider two kinds of warranty products: one that involves mechanical breakdown coverage and another that involves paint protection coverage. The first warranty product covers the operations to repair vehicle breakdowns related to faults, and the second warranty product covers paint damage or paint deterioration related repairs. These two warranty products must be associated with different coverage lists: each coverage list containing a unique applicable set of repair operation codes. These repair operation codes can be selected from the master list of repair operation codes. For more information, see Repair Operation Code Hierarchy.

Coverage lists can be defined using subassemblies. When subassemblies are selected, by association, the various repair operation codes listed under those subassemblies are also included. A coverage list defined at the repair operation code level will include the various repair operation codes selected to be part of the list. You do not have to maintain multiple revisions of a coverage list.
